Kolb joins Eagles training, still hope for trade

Quarterback Kevin Kolb joined teammates Philadelphia Eagles sessions informal Thursday for the first time during the lockout. If they will be his teammates as soon as the lockout ends always is up in the air.


Kolb, who requested a trade for eagles it may therefore be a starter next season, has told reporters that coach Andy Reid told him in a text message: "I will do what is best for you" once the lockout ends.


Earlier this month, Reid stated that the Eagles had not any serious talks with other teams regarding Kolb before the lockout.


"You have an idea of who is interested in the quarterbacks, but you could not do any deals then." You never get to the point where there is real serious; It was too long in advance, Reid said, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. "And you cannot speak at all now." If he ends up going somewhere, more power to him, therefore, he deserves this possibility. "But I like also him here.".


Kolb said he was "pretty tough" on his uncertain future, but that he "expressed my opinion." There is nothing I can do. ?


He began last season as the Eagle, but left the first game with a concussion and an end to the loss of the use of no. 1 at Michael Vick, who enjoys a resurgence of career in 2010.


Kolb, taken 2007 by the Eagles in the second round of the draft, said again a licensee quarterback remains its goal.


"It is a big problem for me," he said. "It is the next step for me." This is what I look forward to do so. ?


He said to journalists that he maintains a positive attitude and it will be ready if it ends up being traded or remains in Philadelphia this fall.


Whatever happens, I'll be ready to roll, "he says.

Tiger, it is still to be at the US Open

Tiger Woods said he has no injury to his left leg at The Players Championship and is expected to play at the US Open next month.


Woods made only nine holes last week at The Players - his ever - shorter tournament when he withdrew after nine holes because of what he describes as a reaction to his left to left knee pain chain Achille and her calf tighter. He shot 42 on the front nine.


On its website Monday, Woods has said that he irritated the knee and Achilles without making them worse. He said doctors advised rest, treatment of cold water and the treatment of soft tissue, which, he says, he was already receiving.


"Aggravating my injury is very disappointing," said Woods. "I will do all that is needed to play at the US Open, and I hope that I can be there to compete."


US Open is from 16 to 19 June in Congress, a course that Woods won in 2009 AT & T national.


He did not say how long it would take to recover.


Its Web site said it is doubtful to play in the Memorial tournament, which begins June 2, while trying to strengthen his leg. He said playing before the US Open would be a decision "week by week", although Woods has never played the week before the US Open and never played the St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tennessee.


Woods reported a slight sprain of the medial collateral ligament and a strain soft his Achille hitting a shot off the coast of the straw from pine under the Eisenhower tree on hole 17 of the masters in the third round. He played the final and shot 67.


He did not practice until The Players Monday and has not played any golf until his practice rounds. Woods considered fine 9-hole practice round, he played last week and swing coach Sean Foley said he was pleasantly surprised to see the Woods to look as if he had not lost much of when he had played in the Masters last.


Woods said that he himself wounded on the tee opening shot at Sawgrass.


"The knee has acted and then the Achille followed by the suite, and then the calf started cramping," Woods said after he retired. "It all started getting tight, is just a whole chain reaction.".


If he plays at the Congress, there probably will have played nine holes of competition between the Masters and US Open.


Minutes before the statement was posted on its Web site, Woods said on Twitter, "sickened that my left leg has me on the sidelines, but I want and expect to be at the US Open." Will do everything in my power to do so. ?


It would not be the first time Woods has played the US Open with so little competition.


When he won his last major at the US Open 2008, he had not played a tournament in two months because of arthroscopic surgery on his left knee immediately after the Masters. Later, doctors discovered his left leg stress fractures. Woods wound up winning at Torrey Pines in a 19 playoff holes hole.
